This is typical ENENews math. There is no such thing as "normal" atmospheric Cs-137, so they picked France in 2010 at the bottom of the scale which is 0.000001 mBq/m^3, essentially 0. Any Cs-137 detected above 0 would be and infinite spike in radiation, but that wouldn't make a very convincing headline. It's already know that Cs-137 was detected on the west coast in March 2011 after the triple melt down, so this isn't breaking news. The high end of the computer model shows 10 mBq/m^3, which is very small considering a Bq is a single radioactive decay per second, so that's 0.01 decays per second in a cubic meter of air.
You will sleep better at night if you realize that ENENews is playing on peoples natural fear of radiation, by fabricating sensational headlines like this out of real news articles. The actual articles and videos for the most part are a good source of information, if you take the time to read/watch them.

Good grief; where do you creatures crawl out of? I do need to fill that crack in, to block the cockroaches. lolol

Dr. Louise Reiss is my hero, and I didn't even know it. I remember hearing about nuclear weapons test fallout affecting people in the US, but I imagined it was a few small towns in Nevada and Utah, but now I know it was across the country, and highest in the four corner states where I was born and raised as a child. I was born after the partial nuclear test ban treaty, and Dr. Reiss is credited for providing the scientific evidence that helped pass the treaty. www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/science/10reiss.html?_r=1&If she were alive today studying NPP fallout, and god forbid put a banana on a chart to show the low end of the radiation scale, I think your group would demonize her.

This type of troll posting is an example of the lower intelligence of many of the trolls, as the link this troll provided shows this woman was, in fact, someone who would have very well been one of the Fukushima Hounds, if she were still alive. (shaking head in disgust) This, and so many other trolls of the this sort of lower intelligence may be looked at as nothng to worry about, but they are... It is the nonsense like this; the mud slinging, that sadly, the majority of the sleepers pay attention to. It still plants nasty little seeds of lies, and sways the public's feelings away from people like us, and especially Dana, who are trying so hard, to save our home.
